Hello all and thanks for a fantastic forum. Just acquired a 1981 Pac Man upright arcade game which has a couple intermittent issues. I've been looking extensively online for a similar problem but haven't found one yet posted anywhere. The minor issue is once turned on it seems to jumble a bit with a few different symbols before freezing like that. Turning it off then back on usually takes care of it by the second try. The other issue may be related. After playing for a few minutes the charactors disappear and the maze is all fuzzy then the charactors start to show up hazy and usually out of line with the maze. The sound is not disturbed and if you move the joystick it will still move and eat the dots. It will suddenly go back to normal for a minute then return to the poor condition. Unsure what's going on here because like I said it comes and goes multiple times per level. Then may run normal for an entire level before acting up again. Any ideas are EXTREMELY appreciated.
